Kelly Slater goes GoPro

[@damianrawle]

one of the best videos i've seen in a while

[@ColourFreeStyle]

Loving the music and footage

[@aerlial360]

Pete, thanks for taking care of me and my fellow MCD team rider Ryan Leonardy in 1998. You will always be the very best connection and hero of the budding East Coast Pro/am surfer trying to make a name for himself. We are eternally grateful.

[@Marksurfz]

Top notch video Pete & Kelly...you both continue to innovate in multiple areas. Well done...

[@AustLong93]

This is the most beautiful water I've ever seen

[@azura96]

Some amazing waves here omg...

[@kiddymico]

ladies and gents this is taken in one of the atolls in Republic of the Marshall islands. wish they couldve mentioned it somewhere in the video..the music the people, airplane and pilots are Marshallese.

[@jlangijota]

Awesome!

[@iLiveOnFijiTime]

Its possible they wanted to keep that information private so the waves (local areas) don't get overrun with tourists. (Not always a good thing) Look at Teahupu.

[@teahupooboy1]

iLiveOnFijiTime it s "teahupoo" and no teahupu i live their, most of the time i surf by myself there is not so much tourists. here is very expensive and just rich tourists come so there is more couple in love than surfer who come. the only moment were teahupoo is full of people is just during the two week of the billabong pro.

[@iLiveOnFijiTime]

Andy Trophort I see. Nice. In that case, carry on. :) i would love to surf teahupoo btw. Oh a question, is it really pronounced 'chepu'?

[@teahupooboy1]

iLiveOnFijiTime no that was invented by english people who are to lazy to pronounced it correctly

[@stuffeddotcodotnz]

I'm stoked to be alive during Kelly's dominance. Once in a lifetime athlete!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

Thanks ..not to mention I was sixty when I filmed most of this footage.

[@cwoodside907]

This wave reminds me of scoring EPIC Swimming pools on Namotu island not too long ago. Perfect wave, just stacked to the horizon. Best surf sesh ever. stay stoked you tubers.

[@riversdirect]

Awesome video. That's some amazing clear water.

[@DjRamsnyc]

Great Music !!!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

Now that is funny Axel! Thanks buddy!!!

[@joesurfer9754]

Im from cocoa beach and kelly slater is the nicest, humble and most friendly guy you will ever meet.

[@ILLERCLOTHING]

Love these videos. Awesome job!

[@Ajeltake55]

Ailinglaplap, Marshall Islands

[@surferdudette19]

The water is so clear .. this is probably a secret surfing spot

[@SailVideoSystem]

Love this video ;-)

[@agustinnn96]

I think i get in love of that wave

[@HodgsonHawaii]

That is the best action setting. The time lapses are shot on photo mode.

[@HodgsonHawaii]

The article from this trip will be in the November issue of The Surfers Journal too.

[@SurfandTurfJay]

I should imagine its a local Marshallese song seeing as thats where it was shot. Worked, lived and surfed there for a year in 2010-2011.

[@hollihysell7193]

Incredible :)

[@bedarda]

What Fun! Pulled the trigger and ordered a 'Black Edition' Hero3 ( HumbleOutdoors w/free 32GB memory). The integrated wi-fi sealed the deal. The slimmer size is also an big plus.

[@robertodfu]

Perfect. Just perfect.

[@BroYouPro]

sweet footage man!!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

Thanks Chris, STOKED too!!

[@emmaandnilla]

Sweet video!

[@rowanfitch5182]

all those photographers in my way and then getting out of the way at the last second would make me nervous

[@SkateSurfProductions]

Sick video Kelly is the King yewww

[@ballisticbodyboards]

sick wave. I'm guessing Raro Tonga ?

[@HodgsonHawaii]

GoPro sells surfboard mounts that work fine and are safe. Get the float back too just in case it gets nocked off the board, helmet whatever.

[@birdmanbl]

Pete really good work . Man you are so stoked. Cunnigham the coolest waterman this side of Wassel. lol Deep at 1:30 WOW HOW FORTUNATE YOU ARE

[@everydaybettereverydaystronger]

Epic. Slater=Mutant. There isnt any wonder how someone gets so good at surfing when all they do is surf perfect waves like this their entire lives. Put us in coach

[@emmareid3258]

Awesome! I only just started at the age of 12, do you reckon i could become pro like Kelly?!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

I'm from Cocoa Beach and agree.

[@CristianRav1]

Song name pleeease!! cant wait anything else from Mr Kelly

[@ESCHWEILERRHEINLAND]

love ur vids mate!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

it starts as a sport and becomes a lifestyle

[@GutiProducer]

where is the part with kelly slater with the gopro?

[@agustinnn96]

Please can somebody say me what is this place, it is heaven on earth

[@Surfingislivingbruz]

where is thisss?!?!?!?

[@TheParadiseTV]

what setting are you using?? 720/60 fps ??? awesome video just receive my hero 2 surf edition.

[@luucvp]

Awesome edit and footage! Did you use the GoPro flatlense?

[@StringBolt]

That's just the waterproof housing for the camera.

[@walkPDP]

Do you wear anything besides fins ? I feel like that would be very tiring, yet any extra floatation and you'd get sucked into the waves and wouldn't be able to dive under

[@wordstir]

I heard he was surfing one day at backdoor and he was going so fast that all his hair flew off his head

[@thatStryderman]

I love your video's :D

[@thefamily20101]

what is the name of this song? sick video

[@HodgsonHawaii]

no info will be divulged about where this is, including the music that will give it away too! SORRY!!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

At 12 you can be anything you want to be Emma but only Kelly will ever be a pro like Kelly

[@HodgsonHawaii]

no one took and lickings in the making of this video. Kelly did some classic bomb door drop into some kinda out the back kick out move in some of his faster freight trains.

[@baltonnathan6259]

Awesome!!

[@doug4355]

how much courage these guys who film

[@GitXxxd]

Mr, I searched through the comment "below" but didnt find any Title of the Song. btw, the song has a Fijian tune, but the lingo sounds Micronesian and locals also look Micronesian... It could be Kiribati, but 'm guessing maybe Nauru?

[@saxonjmorris]

dang that is a perfect right. soooo sick

[@beachrat904]

I would kill to go surf there

[@Twoeatall]

I like the music. (:

[@Ericxnugz]

you can use it any way you want

[@gusmanrhcp]

awesome.

[@MrSport0424]

Gopro's are awesome.

[@illusion887]

So sick brah, he dropped down and smacked the lip like WAPPPACKK! Then he dropped in and got pitted..so pitted. Then he rode the barrel and go spit out like WAAAPSSSHHHHH!!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

Yer welcome, all part of the fun!

[@tymotoboy53]

Oh so you're a pro? yeah please give us all some more pro tips since you're the man and all...

[@HodgsonHawaii]

it reads "dangerous one"

[@weasel75]

I tried surfing with a helmet (borrowed from white-water-kayaking) last year, but I was really not satisfied... the helmet allowed the water to push me around more easily, duckdiving with a "big head" is also more difficult, and once water is passing overhead, it will keep running over your face for a few seconds (longer). That all might not sound too horrible, but especially in sets with short periods this will make your life much harder. Maybe one needs more time to get used to this?

[@leocococitron]

anyone knows this song ?

[@christianroma1]

Line islands?

[@HodgsonHawaii]

yep

[@brunoccs]

Where's the wave?

[@Uainthazbaby]

most fresh

[@HodgsonHawaii]

Yeah buddy!!!

[@HodgsonHawaii]

It is still a secret sorry. Look for the Surfers Journal in November!

[@MegaTafira]

@HodgsonHawaii what did u use to drops slide over the lens _ did u lick it like_}

[@cottie101]

an addiction even.

[@HodgsonHawaii]

no it would be sharper underwater if I had it for this trip.

[@HodgsonHawaii]

Yeah I got it from my parents.

[@GitXxxd]

the locals look like Micronesian, and I've never seen waves like these in Raro so I doubt that... but I hope Mr Hodgson answers our questions.

[@DennisDinh93]

What's the yellow box you use to hold the gopro?

[@SirLeadJester]

Mom, get me a surfboard!

[@Localkinehawaiian]

holy shit, yeah!

[@TheSmileygrenade]

where is the spot?

[@HodgsonHawaii]

My a little sensitive today aren't we Bendover.

[@ReddStarrProductions]

So Parko obviously has 9 email accounts.

[@gabrielnevez]

what is the name of that beach?

[@glasstraxx]

[@TBproudoctions]
